Not only is the copying disgraceful, the work looks disgusting! The leather quality, no welt, general quality etc all look terrible!

"[h=2]Design for Life[/h] Once I had graduated from my Product Design degree in 2012 i immediately went to work in the industry. However working as a designer for big business did not live up to the hype at all. Working for bosses who were not as committed or enthusiastic about projects as I was meant exciting products were left unfinished and pushed to the background.
Once I gained the confidence to believe in myself as a professional designer I decided to leave the industry to work on my own pet projects. Being my own boss means I can now design exactly what I want and have the finished product ready when I want it. There is no better feeling than seeing the finished product in front of you from an idea that you thought of in your own head.
Running my own business means now I can be more flexible with what I do with my time. I can fit in more hobbies like martial arts and go spontaneously travelling building even more life experience then when I was a student. "
This is the cheeky blurb from his page! What a rat!

Bad form is an understatement. I really do empathise with you because I am in constant worry of my own work being imitated and slung out at a fraction of the cost.
I do hope you can get something your way in recognition for your fantastic work. Best of luck

What a scum bag. And shame on Amazon, Ebay and Etsy for allowing this stuff to happen all the time with hardly a consequence.

Dirty little rat! Lol
This isn't imitation and flattery, this is bull S copy right and theft of professional identity. EBay don't have the best rep for sorting out scum bags but its better then nothing. Get a solicitor involved dude, everyone gets a free 20 main consultation and at last then you'll get an idea of what action can be taken.
I wonder if you bought something from there, would the item have a return address on it? Might be a good lead to the country/locality of the person.
Best of luck to you though mate!

Not a fan of Twitter, but reading his posts he's a despicable piece anyway.

What a sucky situation!
My suggestion is to watermark all your future pics. Your work could still be copied but they wouldn't be able to use your pictures and let's be honest, his work and pictures aren't all that!!
First off, Angst posted an address in the first post. (which is actually about 10 miles from where I'm sat right now)
Secondly, what do you actually want to gain from having it?

Didn't see the address in the first post. I was blinded by rage.
Don't worry though - I'm not suggesting we all turn up with sharpened axes (though I would like to see his face!)
These people seem to rip people off and vanish into thin air. If we have a name tied to an address it's a lot easier to pin him down (legally) so he doesn't simply reappear with a different name or something.
I heard that Paypal always refund the buyer... If this is true, could someone potentially buy up all his stock, wait till it's sent out, then demand a full Paypal refund?
This is an unpleasant situation but unfortunately legal I imagine.
Unless you own the actual copyright/design then this will be impossible to stop?

Stay calm my friend.
Find out what your options are, legally.
Feel for you, what a low life!
On the end of the phone if you want a rant bud, you have my number.
Best.
Chris.

Well done on the post to eBay bruv.
I would not go round mate, tempting as it is ( and tempting as it would be for me to join you! )
Stay at home, get some advice, he ain't going anywhere.
Too much good stuff going on in your life to get too personaly involved, just in case.
Can you dig it?
